1. Introduction
The USB3.0 Gigabit Ethernet adapter, is a high performance and simple
plug-and-play Gigabit Ethernet network connection capability for desktops,
notebook PC’s, Ultrabook’s, docking stations, game consoles, digital-home
appliances, and any embedded system using a standard USB port.
The USB3.0 Gigabit Ethernet adapter offers a wide array of features including
IPv4/IPv6 checksum offload engine, crossover detection and auto-correction, TCP
large send offload and IEEE802.3az EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet) that allows to
enter a low power idle state to reduce power and to achieve a more energy efficient
Ethernet. It supports dynamic cable length detection and dynamic power
adjustment Green Ethernet in Gigabit mode.
